A Break From Cables

I’m not actually taking a break from cables. I finished the front and am knitting along on the back of my Chloe sweater. See?

But I was working on something else at the same time: Valentine dresses for Dottie and Inga!

They were so excited when they saw them that they insisted on putting them on immediately, even though I pointed out that it was not yet February.

They look pretty pleased with themselves, don’t they?

The dresses were knit from Julie Williams’ Seasonal Dresses pattern and I used “Solid Series” fingering weight yarn from The Loopy Ewe. I worked on these exclusively during my lunch break at work.

I used the same two colors for each dress but reversed them. Because Inga has a very fair complexion, she thinks that the pink dress flatters her best. And Dottie, with her olive complexion, looks lovely in the ivory dress.

I’m not sure I can keep up the pace of knitting them new dresses every month, but this was sure fun!

I loved your little cotton bunnies so much that I purchased the pattern. It has taken me almost a week to knit the bunny, unlike your speed of 2 days (oh, how I wish I could knit that fast). I am just beginning the dress but now that I see your Valentine dresses, I just may have to purchase them too. I did purchase the Piebald Boy pattern. These little bunnies are so much fun to knit and I love yours! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
